Trump Says He Doesn't Care "Even a Little Bit" About People's Finances

The New Republic

The president made a jaw-dropping confession when asked about the impacts of the Iran war.

President Trump could not care less about your financial struggles.

The man who pledged to fight for unseen Americans by lowering prices and ending endless wars isn't doing either, and remained adamant that he's still on the right path forward when asked about it on Tuesday.

"When you're negotiating with Iran, Mr. President, to what extent are Americans' financial situations motivating you to make a deal?" a reporter asked Trump before he left for China on Tuesday, alluding to the skyrocketing inflation caused by the fallout from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and Lebanon.

"Not even a little bit," Trump said, shockingly out of touch even for him. "The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran is they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all. That's the only thing that motivates me."

1. Crucify Republicans with this in ads.

Example:

Play the clip and the say:

"Senator Collins has voted with Trump 98 % voted to fund Trump's billion dollar Ballroom when you can't afford gas and groceries!"

"She doesn't think about American's financial situation either!"

2. Absolutely!

The ads write themselves:

How much does Trump care about Americans and their financial struggles??

Not one tiny bit. (roll tape)

Then start listing all the other things Trump doesn't care about.

Hahahaha. I love it when Trump and his devotees shoot themselves in the foot.

3. Some talking-head guest on CNBC this morning....

was asked what could be done about inflation outpacing consumers' income growth---like a good tRump repuglykan, he responded that Americans just need to figure out "how to earn more". It's as if he thought people could just snap their fingers and juice up their paychecks with no trouble at all. The guy was a poster-child for "out of touch 1-percenter." I was so disgusted with him, and the network for airing it, that I turned it off wanting to throw something through the screen and smash his smugly face.

7. They (conservative/repugs) have no knowledge of working to try and survive

Just get another job. First there aren't many jobs available. And transportation costs? And childcare costs? And sleep?

Get trained in a better paying profession. Like being an AI robot? Who's funding the training? How do I survive while going to school? (Oh, get another job.)

Build up your savings, 401K, real-estate holdings, etc. so you have a cushion. Thanks, entitled inheritance baby.

4. So F*** you all, you stoopid American citizenry!

It's all about ME and only ME...the rest of you be damned.

Surprised much?

5. While America and Americans go deeper into debt and Trump gets wealthier with his policies.

9. His policy is grifting/stealing.

Using his office to line his pockets and pad his (offshore) bank accounts.

Repuglykans will help him by turning a blind eye, or by getting a piece of the action.

10. Not sure what the problem is. Many topics get reported on here at DU.

Sometimes even from the same sources. (These two posts came from different sources.)

If a subject is important I think it can be mentioned several times.
